Hello everyone and welcome back to a new video, 3rd turn of the Grand Swiss of 2023 and today I bring you again a game of Neyman
Reading the comments of the last video I saw that someone has criticized the fact that one day he publishes a video on Neyman saying that Neyman aims to become a champion
among other things he says it himself
and one day he writes that he was humiliated by Caruana
Well, against Caruana Neyman actually played a very bad game and as usual his position collapsed after a wrong move
Neyman plays well and misses a move even when in advantage he collapses his position
Well, instead yesterday Neyman, really genius, won a very difficult final
Before starting I remind everyone to like and subscribe to the channel thanks to all those who are subscribing and let's start
Ok here we are, 3rd turn, Neyman faces with the white pieces the great master Vokidov Shamsidi in 2578 points to the Ufide
Neyman opens with e4, Shamsidi responds with e5, he follows Kf3 Kc6 Rc4, Italian match
Shamsidi responds with Rc5, the most played move, and Neyman plays Qd3
Too bad, he could have played the Italian pawn, oh well
He plays Nf6, Neyman plays Rf6, Qd6, c3, typical Italian move, c3 is used to push in d4
Qa5, the black takes space on the side of the queen, Qe1 for Neyman
Neyman plays Rf6, Qh3, Neyman controls the g4 house
Shamsidi develops the alfiere in e6
Neyman here has the possibility to capture and double the black's pawns, this would be good
Or he can play Bb5, he chooses to play Bb5, he attacks the knight
Shamsidi withdraws the alfiere in a7, all theory so far
Neyman plays Qe3, he follows Qe3, Qe3, Nf7
The black is preparing the move Ng6, he wants to bring the knight to the side of the king
Neyman pushes in d4, he follows g6 pawn, alfiere f1
Qe8 for the black, he develops the tower and Neyman plays Nd2
So both are developing the pieces
He follows Ng6, a4 pawn, Qc7, Qc2
Now the black has connected the towers, Neyman the same thing
Even if he has the tower in e3, he can still try to double the towers
Shamsidi pushes in d5 and now we reach a very complicated position
Because there is a lot of tension between these pieces
And Neyman here plays very well
He plays the first choices of the engine, he captures with Nf5
He follows Nf5, Qe5, Qe5, Nf3
All the best pieces of the engine, he gains some advantage
After Qh5 he pushes in e5, he attacks the knight in f6
The knight jumps in e4 and Neyman plays Rd1
So as you can see he doubles the towers and is ready to play Rd3
The black continues with Rd8, he reaches b4
Qxb4, Qxb4, Qc8
And in this position the white is a little better
Why is he a little better?
Because after the move Rd3 he is threatening to capture the knight
So to gain a pawn later
Or if the knight were to be moved, the white could capture in h7
And would still gain a pawn
Why? Because the house where the knight can go is g5
So Ng5, Nxg5, Nxg5, Rxh7
And then Shamsidi plays h6
Neyman captures, he follows with Qxd5, Qxd5, Rd5
Neyman gains an advantage pawn
So he has an advantage in this position
However, it is not a simple position
The black immediately tries to recover the pawn
Neyman plays Qb5
The black cannot capture otherwise the tower falls
So he follows with Rd8, Qxg6, Qxg6, Rh2
Neyman plays Rf6
He plays Rf5, Qf4, Rf6, Rc1
Now Neyman attacks the pawn in g6
I'm going fast because this game is very long
He follows Rd7 by Shamsidi
Neyman plays Qe4
Rf5, Qb4
Neyman in practice has a passed pawn that he could now start pushing
Shamsidi withdraws the queen in g6
And here, in fact, the right move is Qa5
To try to promote with this pawn
Neyman, however, makes a mistake and plays Rc3
He attacks the pawn in g6
He follows Rf4
This seems to be a serious mistake
Because after Kh4, the white attacks the queen
And the black risks losing a piece
After Kh5, the queen falls
It's true that the black can immediately take back the piece
But the pawn falls in g6
So Neyman has two more pawns
After Qxh5
Neyman has won the game
Plus four points of advantage
But what happens?
He doesn't find the right move, which in this case is e6
To try to open the lines
And then maybe take advantage of the passed pawn to promote
But he plays Rg3
With this move, he still puts pressure
Obviously, the black captures the pawn in a4
He takes back a pawn
Neyman remains with one more pawn
He follows pawn e6
Ra7
Rc4
Neyman attacks the queen
The queen withdraws
And here he follows pawn to f7
Queen to f7
We return to this final of heavy pieces
With one more pawn for the white
Final difficult to win
Complicated
Rg4 for Neyman
Rh8
And here Neyman takes the decision
To give up the two towers
For the queen and a pawn
So we reach this position
Correctly, this position is won by the white
However, here this final becomes more and more complicated
A bit also because Neyman doesn't play all the best
He follows f4 pawn
The only way for the white to win
Is to make progress by advancing the pawns to e3
Shamsiddin continues with Rd7
Neyman plays Qe6
He follows Rd6
Qe7, check
Rg8, pawn to g4
You see, the white tries to make progress
Rd7
The black attacks the queen
Neyman gives check
Rg7
Rg3
Good
Rd5
Qe6
Rd6
Qe5 with check
Rf7
Qh8
Neyman attacks the h6 pawn
He wants to capture it
He follows Rd7
Rh4
Very good
Neyman is making progress
Slowly, but he is making progress
Now here we reach a critical position
Because Neyman at some point will have to push the pawns
At least the f5 pawn
And it will take a lot of time to do it
After Rd3
Neyman plays Qh7, check
Rf8
Qc7, attacks the tower
Rd3 to defend
Qb7
Now it is difficult to make progress
The white wants to come in h5 and push in h4
But he can't do it, otherwise he will get a crazy check
Qh3
Shamsiddin attacks the queen
Neyman comes in e4
He follows Qd6
Qe5
Rf7
Qh5, check
Rf8
Qb5
As you can see, Neyman is not making progress
But after Rf7
Neyman makes an important decision
Qf5
Very good
He advances
He follows Rf8
Qxb4
Rf7
Qc4
Rg7
Qe4
Shamsiddin continues to move the king
So Rf7
He follows Qc4
Rg7
Qb4
Neyman doesn't know how to win this position
But then we enter in this variant
Where
Black can't move the towers
Why can't he move the towers?
If he moves this tower, then the king advances
And then Neyman can play h4
If he moves the other tower
The check comes here and the pawn falls
So
Black plays h5
Neyman captures this pawn
After Qh3, Rg5
This game is completely won
But for a human it is not so simple
It is very complicated
And here Neyman will risk a lot
He follows Rd3
Qe5
Rd5
Qe4
Rd3 again
Neyman plays Qh1
He wants to enter here to give checks
Rg7
Black parries
Qb7 and check
Rd7
Qb8
Rd6
Qe8
by Neyman
And here it is really
very difficult
Because Black can build a fortress
He plays Rf7
After Qe5, Rf6
How to make progress?
It is almost impossible
Think about it
The knight gives 1.8
But this is a very difficult position
And Neyman manages to win
He wins this position
And Neyman
After a lot of moves
That Neyman does not make any progress
As you can see
The position is repeated
Neyman manages to
enter
in g5
He enters in g5
It is very difficult to win
But the opponent
After Rh7, Rf4
He plays Rf7
And after R5
He makes a mistake
He feels the pressure
Because Neyman wants to sacrifice
the queen on the tower
and go to promotion
So, he moves the tower
in b6
Neyman is very good
He plays Qh4
Rg7
Qg5, Rh7
Qd8, the best move of the knight
Qb7
Rf4, the best move of the knight
Obviously, Neyman wants to sacrifice the queen
Qh6
Qd3, the best move
of the knight
Qb6
Qf6
The best move of the knight
And now it's done
Neyman plays Qd4 in 24 moves
So, Neyman wins this position
He plays Rg8
Rf5
Rf7, Qc4
Rf8
Neyman plays G5
Qb8
Rg6
Neyman doesn't play Qd8
But here is written Qd8 in 12 moves
So, Rg6 is good
Qb7
Rh6
Rf7
Qd4
What does Qd4 do?
It defends the pawn in f6
And now the white is finally ready
to push and go to promotion
In this position
Shamsidin decides to give up
So, Neyman manages to win this
very difficult final
where the black had built
a fortress
The game lasted 101 moves
Why does he give up the black?
Because the white advances the pawns
After Rxe8
comes Qd6
Rc8
Qd5
The white wants to push
and attacks the tower
So, there is nothing to do
So, Neyman manages to win
He knows how to play chess
He has never been below
He has always been ahead
But he won
Now he is 2 points ahead
I can't wait for Nakamura
Because Nakamura is also in this tournament
We will have a lot of fun
We will see
what will happen
